Wow! This is the first closed thread that I ever had resurrected! I have never said TBN wasn't enjoyable anymore. I simply said not AS enjoyable anymore. Spending more time at home and alone now due to the virus, TBN sometimes gives me hours of pleasure reading different threads about everything from the best measuring tapes to how to make gumbo and how to fill tractor tires.
Posters on TBN have a lot more in common than posters on Facebook and some other forums and the majority think alike on most topics. There is always some disagreement on subjects, such as the best color tractor, but posters do not have to degrade other posters who they do not agree with on the subject. If X says Red tractors are the best and you think Green ones are better, you do not have to call X a moron for his opinion. You can just say you don't agree with him and state your reason why. Whenever you say something derogatory about someone on a thread, he is bound to respond in a retaliatory way increasing the friction and resulting in the thread being closed and your dislike for that poster will carry on to other threads resulting in others being closed. There are some posters who make me so angry at times I wish they were banned but then I will read an informative post by them on a different thread that makes me happy they weren't banned.
Many threads can have a comment in them that makes someone think it has a religious or political overtone, such as reciting the Declaration of Independence on Fourth of July, and no thread should be banned for what one person thinks is a broad political or religious that has no real intention of being so.
If there is one thing I think TBN should do, although it will really put the mods to work, is to delete any post in a thread where a poster says something derogatory about another poster causing a feud that will carry on for ages.
